05 Camry after market head light ?

[snake07]

Hi all,

My 05 camry head lights are getting cloudy. I guess I can buy a head light restoration kit and clean them but when I found an after market head light on ebay, I prefer those better.

I like the after market head light with a projector low beam and they also have an angel eyes, look pretty.

Please let me know if anybody bought those head lights from ebay or some where else with no issues installing them and if they're good quality, last long.

This is a link on ebay where they sell those head lights:

Thanks all,

someone on here is actually selling their old pair of those headlights... based on some other members that have had them, the light output is not good at all.. i would recommend just restoring your OEM headlights and save your money.

+1 just stick to OEM.

All those headlights suck, and the halos are a big NO-NO.

I bought it and got headache... Yes it looked really nice (check this thread out Headlight Projector question...) However it not 100% fit which is mean you have to buy some rubber with 3m double tape on the back to stick it in...
The cutting is not horizontal, I guess because when they put the light together they leave it on a straight surface but when you put it on your car it a little bit angle... So you might need to open the housing and readjust the projector...
So if you can deal with it buy... if not just go with OEM... If I can do again I would rather open up my OEM paint, put projector and angle eyes... it gonna cost lest and yes with no headache... dealing with those guys on ebay is horrible

I've had a set, they suck...output is horrible..the H1 bulbs don't last long at all....the fitment is crappy as well.

not offend but the projector is not that bad comparing to the OEM projector that people have to deal with the gen 6.... The problem is only because they assembly it wrong...

some pix showed the light comming out great with clear cut( I got only one light... the other one is defected) the last picture took by cell phone.

They're pretty bad...uneven cutoff line....there's hot spots(bad glare).....

[sitandthink]

Like I said about they assembly the projector on a straight surface... so when it come out it is not horizontal...
Just wait till I have time to open it up adjust the projector then you gonna c the different.

I've had them...the only way to make them better is to put a true HID projector in it.

[sitandthink]

You had a gen 5 projector which is come out long time ago... This is gen 5.5 which I think only come out last year... and these use H3 light not H1

[Punks_Not_Dead5]

actually they are Gen 5.5 styled...

[sitandthink]

is this the one u have? can u please compare your projector to mine? the one with 5 small len with one big len ???

Thanks,

just go to walmart, pepboy buy the 3M plastic polish, around $6 or $7 a bottle, use some elbow grease, rub off the cloud with soft cloth, napkin. the only thing i worry was rubbing off the UV protection coat.
